Overview: In 1890, the year of the U.S. census, chaos erupts when a stranger named Strindler arrives in a small town in Arizona and requests money for providing the names of dead Mexican laborers.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, dark and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Greed, deception, death, class
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
